#2874 1.18.52: Fog changes opacity/density when firing smoky weapon

[Pumo]

When firing a weapon that emits smoke particles (like missiles), fog becomes a bit thickier/opaque as long as the missile smoke is being rendered.

It goes back to normal when there's no smoke.

That is because the smoke particles are much bigger than you can see with your eye, because they are very transparent at their borders. However, the hardware "sees" it, and puts a fog effect on it.

You may want to turn "disperse smoke" off - smoke looks better w/o that setting anyway.

[Pumo]

OK, I disabled "disperse smoke" just in case.

However, after some more tests, it seems it's not really related to the smoke effect as a thought.

I noticed that foggy segments looks more foggy/opaque when displaying missile view or mini-map view, so it's rather related to the hud.

Good observation. Fixed. Update will be released tomorrow.
